Have you seen that commercial with Brooke Shields hawking that new prescription eyelash cream? Poor Brooke! First she waited until she was 22 to have sex because she felt fat or too tall or whatever, then she had the postpartum depression, and now we learn how she’s endured unthinkable life-long trauma because of “inadequate” eyelashes. Thank God for Latisse, the world’s first FDA-approved prescription treatment for such an ailment!
You can watch Brooke’s video diary here and find out what a huge difference having adequate lashes has made in her life. There are also before and after photos of Brooke’s eyelashes at the Latisse site, where you can see for yourself the horror that Brooke had to deal with on a daily basis before starting her treatment for inadequate lashes. If she ever had any doubt before, she’s definitely a Latisse converter now and encourages any potential users to consult with a doctor about whether Latisse may be right for them. I can hear it now: “Doctor, oh doctor! My eyelashes are so inadequate! I bat them at boy and NOTHING happens! People don’t do double-takes when I pass by them in the supermarket. I haven’t stopped traffic in ages! Do you think Latisse is right for me?!”

@RachelSmiles: No, there is too much money in not curing those.

Well I believe the original use of the medication is for glaucoma..so I guess the pharm company behind it decided to make some bank off it’s cosmetic side effect. It’s a bit silly, but if that’s what Brooke Shields wants to spend her money on it, then so be it.

I don’t see the need for all the sarcasm. This product isn’t a necessity of life, sure, & the problem it solves isn’t life-threatening. But, I mean, so what? If we only considered it acceptable to use drugs & cosmetics for truly necessary causes, there’d be a lot of things not getting researched. People take prescription meds to deal with acne and thinning hair. Lots of people spend money on skin creams, teeth whitening and hair dye, even though the problems they’re “fixing” aren’t very traumatic in the first place.
Regardless of how ridic the ads are, it’s nicer to have nice long eyelashes than short stubby ones—take it from me, an Inadequate Eyelash sufferer. As long as this product isn’t harmful, what’s the big problem?
